What are these painful cramps on the sides on my bump

[HappyRexManningDay]

M 35+3 and since about midday today I've had very painful cramps on the right side of my bump. Baby has been kicking lots to the point of being very painful and sore.

The pain's not subsided over the last 6 hours, is bearable but painful. It doesn't feel like round ligament pain at all.

If worried call midwife. Could be Braxton hicks which can be sore if you are dehydrated

I'm having this atm. Checked around online and it seems very common, but I'm not sure why. I've had a scan, urine, blood pressure and heart beat check this week and all is normal, plus bump is kicking away. So could well be another one of those pains.

I had this and the pain got so bad I ended up in tears on the phone to my mum

I went to see my MW the same day thankfully as I was already booked in for a appiontment.....turns out I had a UTI and I am now on anti-biotics but haven't had a pain since

So would rind your MW just to check as mine said that having a UTI could kick start pre-term labour

Hope this helps
